That’s not surprising: most Americans begin every week not knowing a lot of things, especially about a part of the world as obscured from their vision as Uganda, the country where Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) commenced a brutal insurgency in the 1980s that lingers to this day. A viral video that took social media by storm over the past two days has seemingly changed all that. Produced by Invisible Children, a San Diego-based NGO, “Kony2012″ is a half-hour plea for Americans and global netizens to pay attention to Kony’s crimes — which include abducting over 60,000 children over two decades of conflict, brutalizing them and transforming many into child soldiers — and to pressure the Obama Administration to find and capture him.

Michael BurkFloating about is a game, which uses a pocket projector as an interface to create an environment that allows players to experience a connection between reality and a virtual world. Today most augmented reality games for smart phones are bound to the small screens of their devices. Thereby only an image of reality is augmented with virtual content, not reality itself. To solve this problem, a handheld projector was used to display virtual elements. This way ordinary city walls are being transformed into multidimensional screens that allow for a deeper level of immersion. Regarding our concept we looked into cultural and social implications that come with the spreading of technology, which provides constant internet access and is accessible with ubiquitous technologies like augmented reality.
